All roads lead to Gorgie Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 We usually keep this weather for the festival. It has come early this year. The pattern of high pressure keeping England dry in the south and deflecting all the rain up to Scotland looks like our lot for the foreseeable.

Effin Tories. 82 and sunshine here today. 84 and sunshine yesterday and the day before. The weather is one of the great things about Minnesota, the temp changes by 100F in the space of 6 months. Looking forward to coming back in August when it will most likely be raining, windy and 'lukewarm' for the duration of our holiday in Scotland.

Fitzroy Pointon Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Am I alone in thinking that during my school holidays in the 80's and 90's it was always sunny.

maroonlegions Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Better get used to it folks, from a geeky perspective the Gulf stream velocities and oscillations have been weakening for a while , this natural flow or "oscillation" is crucial for the jet stream to operate correctly as this is what influences weather patterns from the Gulf of Mexico that influences America and right up to the Northern hemisphere and Europe.There has been a slow but gradual weakness of this Gulf stream flow over the years.

Der Kaiser Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Forecasts for weather in 5 days and on can generally be ignored. Far too many factors to consider to be reliable. That's why they're called forecasts.

Sharpie Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I noticed during the winter that we would get bad weather, about a week later exactly the same weather would hit you guys. Today we are at 33, by Saturday forecast to be 40 or above, if that winter syndrome works in a week or so you should have good summer weather. I sincerely hope so. I golfed this morning and it was in the high twenties with a touch of humidity, still my choice of weather, I felt so good after the exercise and heat I broke down and had one beer this afternoon. Followed quickly by a few more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveofthegame Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Would barely ever have to leave this country if we could guarantee good summers. I hate that one hour away in London/southern England there is a completely different climate, places that actually get summers. I love Edinburgh and Scotland but the weather really is depressing most of the time, I'd genuinely partly blame it for our grim demeanours and lack of sporting prowess...
